A coastal nation that is predominantly a semi-tropical rainforest and whose largest cities are built between river deltas, is running out of water.

“Breitbart.com” wrote:“Locals have been protesting since 3 am due to lack of water on the Charallave-Ocumare highway, and are now requesting the presence of the media,” wrote onlooker Rocely Romero in Twitter.

The last major water shortage in Venezuela was in February 2016, when authorities announced a weekend “maintenance” session designed to maintain sufficient water levels during a period of drought. An estimated three million in Caracas consequently went without water, where the average temperature at that time of year is 68F.

The lack of clean water is the latest in a string mass shortages experienced in Venezuela under the rule of socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro.

Venezuela’s new series of bank notes, to be called bolívares soberanos, and necessary because the nation’s rampant inflation turned much of what it has been using into nothing more than play money, was supposed to be introduced on June 4.

When the Maduro government delayed it to Aug. 4, the national banker’s association asked for an extra month to prepare.

As of now, the Monetary Research Institute reports in its MRI Banker’s Guide to Foreign Currency, there is no indication that any of the seven new denominations, from 2 to 200 bolívares soberanos, have even arrived in Venezuela.

That’s right. Venezuela might not be able to roll out the new currency because they literally do not have the bills to pass out... Seems Baroness Thatcher was only half right: the socialists have run out of other people’s money and run out of their own.

Truth is Maduro can knock as many zeros off the bolivar as he wants, but even if the avaerage Venezuelan can find someone who will accept the bills... there’s still nothing to buy. As of now, inflation in Venezuela is north of 46,000 percent.
